John 3.16–21, 35–36: a Remonstrant’s Rendering

J. D. Gallé |  Tuesday, 1 February 2022


v. 16    For in this manner God loved the world, that he gave his Son, the only begotten, in order that everyone believing into him may not be destroyed, but may have life of the age.

v. 17    For God did not send forth the Son into the world in order that he may judge the world, but in order that the world may be rescued through him.

v. 18    The one believing into him is not judged. But the one not believing even now has been judged, because he has not believed into the name of the only begotten Son of God.

v. 19    And this is the judgement, that the Light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the Light, for their works were evil.

v. 20    For everyone practising worthless things hates the Light and does not come towards the Light, in order that his works may not be laid bare.

v. 21    But the one doing the truth comes towards the Light, in order that his works may be manifested, because they are having been worked in God.

 

v. 35    The Father loves the Son and has bestowed all things in his hand.  

v. 36    The one believing into the Son has life of the age. But the one disobeying the Son shall not see life; rather, the wrath of God abides upon him.
